According to an inside source, the Scot wants the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 manager to be his replacement, while Jose Mourinho is also in contention ahead of Joseph Guardiola.
The day when Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson actually steps down from the Old Trafford hot seat will be a tough time for the supporters, who have seen the tactician perform his magic for the last 26 years or so.
And the pressure surrounding his successor will be immense. Ferguson’s abilities and the way he overtook http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 in English football is a sight to behold. And one would expect nothing less than the finest manager in the world to take the gauntlet from
him.
Many claim that Jose Mourinho should be the one to replace Fergie when he retires, as he has the aura and ability to match his achievements after proving his worth in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
However, his relationship with the media is something which could deter United’s owners, as he tends to attract unnecessary attention. While a source close to the club claims that the Portuguese trainer is being considered, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Moyes is the man who will
eventually succeed his fellow countryman and has Ferguson’s blessing for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 as well.
Also adding, the reported insider reiterated that hot favourite Guardiola was not even on the major names list, despite the fact that he enjoys a close relationship with the United manager and is meeting with him in New York this weekend.
“The talk about Manchester United appointing Guardiola is a little premature. He actually has two preferred choices – David Moyes and Jose Mourinho. Moyes and Fergie are close and Fergie begrudgingly admires how Moyes has ‘outfoxed’ him and many other teams
over the years,” said the source.
Continuing, he added that while there is a great degree of respect between the ‘Special One’ and Sir Alex, the Real Madrid coach’s frequent outbursts were a major problem and could be decisive factor when the time comes.
“Fergie admires Jose greatly but there are concerns that Jose’s manner and media links could make him become bigger than the club,” the insider who is allegedly close to the United camp was quoted as saying to the media.
